Otherworldly Castle Era

In the cold winter, the north of the mainland, which is close to Ice Island, is far from the war in the south, but it is not at all peaceful.

　　 While Christopher was still training after joining the army, the oceans of the northern continent ushered in a fleet of sea-crossing fleets.

　　 "General Li, I didn't expect that there would be so many pirates in the north. I thought that no one knew how to sail in this place." Changsun Sheng stood on the ship's side, watching the wreckage that floated to the front.

　　 Li Bao smiled and said, "Mr. Changsun, this is an indigenous territory, not a deserted southern Xinjiang. There are no boats and sails on the sea, and some ships are reasonable, but..."

　　 Looking at the two small boats escaping in the distance, Chang Sun Sheng also knew what Li Bao wanted to say, so he nodded in agreement: "Yes, this boat is too crude, it is simply vulnerable."

"Not to mention that the ship is simple and has no tactics. It's just a swarm of rushing up to prepare for close combat. This kind of fleet makes me not interested." Li Bao first nodded to Chang Sun Sheng, and then looked at the distance again and again. Shook his head.

　　 At this moment, Li Bao led the fleet after nearly half a year of exploration and sailing, and successfully arrived in the northern waters. The composition of the fleet is not the same as the three frigates in the past.

　　 It’s the tenth winter of the Apocalypse now. Half a year ago, the Navy’s two destroyers and three new frigates were completed after more than a year of construction.

　　More than that, the shipyard in Navy Town has finally fully utilized the shipyard in Navy Town because of the large number of talents joining in the past two years.

　　 Since the shipyard in Navy Town was put into this place by Yang Song, five large dry docks and several small docks have not been fully utilized for so many years.

　　 However, now that Xia Guo’s first batch of talents has grown up and joined all walks of life across the country, it has solved a part of the demand for basic technical talents.

　　 I don’t know that the shipyard in Haijun Town is fully utilized. Even Linhai Town in the Linhai Basin has built a small shipyard according to the plan, which can produce simple fishing boats and transport sea ships.

　　 This time, Li Bao’s back fleet consists of one destroyer, two frigates, and two newly developed supply ships.

This kind of supply ship is larger than the destroyer, and the hull has reached an unprecedented length of 40 meters, and the width of the ship has reached 9 meters at its widest point. This aspect ratio makes this kind of supply ship feel a bit "fat". Not slim.

In addition, the masts of the supply ship are also different from the previous warships. Whether it is a newly built destroyer or a frigate that has been owned in the past, there are only three masts, but this kind of supply ship has four masts and two main masts. , Two auxiliary masts.

　　 Because the positioning of the supply ship is just like its name, it is only used to transport supply materials. There are also a set of cranes on both decks of the supply ship, driven by small steam engines, which can carry out very convenient supply operations for the warship.

Supply ships are called "ships" because they are armed. However, the main task of supply ships is to provide supplies to other warships. They belong to auxiliary ships. Therefore, there are only ten weapons that can be used for self-defense in emergency situations. The naval gun is set on the open deck.

　　 [Battleship level: supply ship

　　 Specifications: 40 meters long and 9 meters wide.

　　 Full load displacement: 1500 tons.

　　Weapons: Five-level naval guns (caliber 100 mm) and 10 (open deck).

　　Equipment: Two sets of steam cranes (ship swelling).

　　 Carrying: Soldiers or five hundred tons of supplies.

　　Crew: 300.

　　 Hull composition: a total of five layers. The first-floor superstructure, the hull is divided into four floors, the superstructure is used for directing residence, the fourth floor is the residential floor, the second to third floors are all storage floors, and the bottom floor is the ballast floor. 】

　　 If it were not for the two newly built supply ships, Li Bao’s exploratory fleet would not have come to the North Sea, which is more than 4,000 kilometers away from Linhai Town.

　　 Looking at the weaponry of the supply ship, it is actually the level of the frigate; looking at the positioning, the supply ship is an auxiliary ship; but looking at its role, it is very important, and its status is much higher than that of ordinary warships.

In addition to operating equipment and controlling the supply ship, the 300 crew members on board the ship are redundant sailors, porters, and landing soldiers.

　　 The warship has lost its manpower and can be transferred from the supply ship; it will act as a porter during the supply operations; if it is necessary to conduct landing operations, these manpower can even carry knives and guns ashore.

Although Xia Guo’s muskets did not undergo a major change in the army, they had one man in the navy, which increased the navy’s combat power by several times. However, the corresponding consumption of ammunition and reliance on logistical supplies were even greater. Is serious.

　　 This is another reason why the entire navy is equipped with muskets after building three new supply ships!

　　------------

　　 An hour ago, Andy led his pirate regiment to tow around the sea, looking for a target on the waterway. The previous period of time to take advantage of the fire and robbery plan failed because of the failure of the five territories, which made him feel sorry for a while.

Fortunately, these pirates were cautious. Even if they were ordered by someone behind them, they did not rush to be cannon fodder at the first time, so that they did not suffer any loss. The fierceness of Ice and Snow Island at that time was terribly frightened. Take a look at them these pirates.

　　 But because he didn't complete the orders of the employer behind him, some needed supplies were gone, so Andy had to open the next one to get something for his pirate team.

　　 Andy happened to meet the old acquaintance Annott on the offshore channel ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and Annott's experience was similar to him, otherwise the probability of encountering in the vast sea is too small.

　　 After Andy and Annott met at sea, they decided to join forces to get a big ticket and prepare to plunder a large fleet.

　　 But the large fleet did not encounter it, but encountered five super large sea ships, never seen the style, never seen the flag, never seen the big ship!

　　 And these five large sea ships are Xia Guo’s northbound exploratory fleet. The fleet passed through many coastal towns, and after nearly half a year of sailing, it finally came to this cold North Sea.

　　 However, although the two of them were shocked by the huge size of these five sea ships, especially the two behind them, they were more like a moving fortress, which was daunting, but they decided to move forward and plunder.

　　 "Annott, if these five sea ships are snatched, it would be great!" Andy looked at the five big ships on the opposite side, almost leaving drooling.

　　 In Andy's view, there are only five large sea ships. The two large pirate ships on their side add up to nearly thirty ships. Don't be afraid.

　　 "Okay, how about the two big ships behind, how about the two of us?" Annott is also very greedy for the five ships in front, but he knows that he can't swallow it by himself.

　　 Andy thought for a while, and pointed to the destroyer in front of him: "We are one of the two smaller ships, but what about this ship?"

　　 This hasn't succeeded yet, the two have already started discussing how to distribute the spoils!
